PROBLEM: 2.6.4 Sun Crossbow Mouse fails on Sun Ultra 5

I've been having problems getting the Sun Crossbow
mouse to work on a Sun Ultra-5, connected via a Type-6 UK
keyboard.

It appears that the SU driver does auto-baudrate detection
on the mouse port by detecting line break conditions.

Under 2.4.x this works fine, but under 2.6.x the break
condition never seems to get raised on my Ultra 5
unless either...

a) You warm boot into 2.6 from 2.4    - or -
b) You cold boot into 2.6, unplug the mouse, and plug it back in.

It strikes me that a baud-rate mismatch will also result in
framing errors so I've patched drivers/serial/sunsu.c to
accept either a break or framing error to trigger the
baudrate change.

I don't have any other sparcs available, so my testing is
minimal but I am hoping for feedback from other sparc
users on the gentoo sparc forum.

Mark.
